Pick 6Wheels

Pick 6 | 8 Number Wheel Trap (6if6)

Get full jackpot coverage of any 8-number combinations using 28 lines. With any 3if3 match, you’ll be guaranteed 10 prizes. Every ticket is a winner from 4+Bonus matches onward, while match 4 offers a 78% prize rate.

Playing Tips

Once you go over 10 tickets per draw, you exponentially increase your number of losing tickets. Plays like these are best left when doubling-up or taken a chance when you feel your numbers are due to come up.

If you want to increase your draws until break-even, look for a lottery (like BC49) that offers payouts of 75x for match 4 and 750x for match 5.

8 Numbers | 28 Lines

While the cost of running the gauntlet with 8 numbers is 4x that of a 7 number full wheel, you’ll get 2.5x the wins on each match with a greater chance of your numbers coming up.

Free Tickets

A Match 3 will also produce Match 2 (15x), so there’s lot of opportunity for free tickets if your lottery supports it.

  • Match Only Bonus: 21 free tickets
  • Match 1+Bonus: 15 free tickets or 6x for the bonus only.
  • Match 2: 15 free tickets

Risk Factor

This ticket is best played with a low ticket cost and high value, small prizes.

  • 10x prize for Match 3 → $10 prize / $1 ticket
  • 50x prize for Match 4 → $50 prize / $1 ticket
  • 500x prize for Match 5 → $500 prize / $1 ticket

Break-Even

  • Match 3 = $10: every 4 draws… or
  • Match 4 = $50: every 16 draws… or
  • Match 5 = $500 : every 83 draws

Wheel Summary

While you increase your odds by adding an extra ball, the break-even stats take a big hit due to the low payouts on small wins.

Small, match 3 prizes here will not be very profitable and you will require a lot of free tickets match to make up for the extra number of losing tickets per draw.
